If it makes you feel better, the only stage I didn't have a malfunction on was the classifier.

Ha, at least i wasn't alone thanks buddy

Could have done like Henry and ZERO a stage because of a squib from the previous stage.

 

[kz45]

I zeroed stage 2

 

[scooterj]

At least you got to shoot most of it.

It wasn't just a local phenomenon.

I had two hard primers on one stage today. Back-to-back.

Fortunately, I'm a tap-wrack-bang machine.

Sounds like you guys had a good time out there today. Quite a turn out, too.

I had a great time at the match yesterday as well. It was hot out there though, that's for sure. I brought my brother along with me to shoot a match for his first time and he too had a blast.
The good part, it was fun....the bad part is I shot like poop today! Oh, and what evil entity designed that Polish Plate rack?

I absolutely and thoroghly enjoyed that for my first time out. I'm all in! I am going to post a new thread encouraging persons that may be on the fence of competetion shooting to get involved.

I got some much needed sleep and saw the scores. eeewwwwww. I sucked.
I'm waiting to see any Youtube uploads from the match posted here. That's always fun for me to watch the day after. So if you have video posted please link it so we can enjoy.
Until the videos show up I have a few photos of me doing my suckie best out there. At least I didn't pass out from heat exhaustion.

Thanks to Lloyd and all the others on my squad for making it so fun as it always is.

I had nothing but malfs yesterday. The only stage I didn't have any problems with was the classifier. Ammo related problems, I think. I'm going to Precision tonight and see if it's worked out.

I ran into a bunch of guys from our squad later at Cabelas...easy to spot 'em 'cause we were all sportin' fresh sunburns.

Is there any reason to be classified A-B-C-etc if just shooting for fun?

 

[TCKev]

In ordered to be classified you have to belong to the USPSA and have shot at least 4 classifiers on file before you know what class your in. If your gonna do this just for fun you can just shoot as an unclassified shooter. But sooner or later the competitive juices are gonna kick in and you'll want to be classified and see if you can move up the ranks.

Thanks I understand now. I just wanna see if I stick with it before I worry about being classified.

It's really just to help you rank yourself nationally and so you are competing against those with the same skills

No reason not too. If you end up joining USPSA and shooting a sufficient number of matches you will automatically be classified.

Winning your class, or coming in 2nd or 3rd, is a more realistic goal for most of us than winning HOA in a Division.

Ultimately you're (mostly) competing with shooters at approximately your own skill level within the Class system...in U you can get lumped in with a few of those bionic newcomers whose next step is directly to B or above.

Once you join uspsa, it's a matter of when and not if.

I see a lot of Joe's head.

And I see you grazed the wall through one of the last ports on the video.

Good shooting, though.
